Pat Moody is a Lifetime Commercial Broadcaster and Internet Publisher.
A reasonably accomplished photographer, Pat has a great admiration for artists who employ realism, but also has an affinity for those who engage in abstract art. Inspired by a colleague who had taken up painting, Pat entered the realm, but elected to go the route of utilizing palette knives instead of brushes. A true aficionado of bright colors, Pat’s work frequently showcases a brilliant array of colors intended to capture the eye of the audience and stimulate their reactions. Pat is a Michigan native and resides in St. Joseph Michigan with his wife Carol.
Lowell Hamel has had a love for wood and woodworking that spans more than 50 years. After designing and constructing many hundreds of large and small projects, he has turned his attention to wearable wood. “When COVID struck”, says Hamel, “We banned suits and long ties to reduce the spread of the virus. When challenged with creating a new and reasonably dressy wardrobe I could not find interesting and hygienic bow ties. I landed on the option of creating a bow tie collection from wood. Wood has served countless generations for shelter, fuel, comfort, recreation, decoration and commerce. There are countless varieties, grains, and color palettes. The ties can be made out of scraps of wood too small for most projects, they are durable, and can be cleaned. The first ties were inlaid with contrasting wood, then ties were cut and etched with a router or CO2 laser. None of the woods are treated with a stain or dye rather the wood’s natural beauty was enhanced and preserved with multiple coats of clear lacquer.” Dr. Hamel is a lifelong resident of Berrien Springs, Michigan, a practicing physician, and the Chief Operating and Clinical Officer of Corewell Heath’s South Division. He and his wife Judy share 5 children and 9 grandchildren.
